2. Software Development

2.1 Staden open source

James Bonfield described the new open source release of the
Staden package> Staden is now available from staden.sourceforge.net
under a BSD licence. James Bonfield will be maintraining the package,
especially gap4 administration functions for use at the Sanger
Institute.

The analysis tools such as spin are not currently maintained by
anyone. They have been popular with some EMBOSS users. Peter
volunteered to maintain the EMBOSS/spin interface, and will join the
Staden project on sourceforge.

Peter will check on the possibility of code reuse in EMBOSS
for some of the now non-maintained analysis functions.

2.2 Rocplot

Jon has rewritten the documentation and committed code, though
test data is still needed. A paper is in preparation.

2.3 Domainer

Jon reported domainer has a new option to use index numbers or
original numbers for residues.

2.4 Regular expressions

Alan asked whether regular expressions could be used to test
list/selection choices where there is a need to test for only one
option.
Peter will investigate adding an ACD function for these tests.
